Netflix and Chill?

Nothing quite perplexes me in the same way that today’s dating culture does. I’ve read countless articles and watched numerous documentaries on the topic, only to realize that it has developed into a contest of who can care the least, and I don’t see how that’s a good thing.

Netflix and Chill- There is nothing chill about it… I read this great article by Gigi Engle, and I quote, “There is nothing that screams “I have zero respect for you!” like offering up “Netflix and chill.” It is truly the most obvious and cliché thing a guy can suggest.” Yes Gigi.

Cheater cheater pumpkin eater- Well it is pumpkin season… You would be AMAZED at the amount of people I have witnessed cheating on their significant this semester. Your brain would actually explode. My question remains, if you’re going to cheat, why bother date?

Swipe Right- Tinder or whatever app you use doesn’t allow for that initial connection of bumping into someone organically. Of course it could work for some people which is great, but I’ll probably get into technological aspect of dating in another article.

Fear- “I came in like a wreckinnnnggg balllllll!” We build walls up for protection but they won’t do us much good when they keep everyone out. A successful relationship is the product of being somewhat emotionally vulnerable. That even applies to friendships!

In the end, our desires as human beings are to love and be loved- a concept so simple that has been mutilated by the fear of getting hurt. A little honesty, a nice smile, and respect are all it really takes, and I know you can do all of those. For the sake of revolutionizing our dating culture, stay classy readers (and follow my Twitter).
